Most Helpful Girl

I think it depends, in most cases in person, but as for experience my last ex I broke up with him via text then phone call because I knew he would never let me leave, and I didn't want to see him, the last time I had we got in a argument and when I went to try to leave he blocked the door so I couldn't leave, and pushed me. I broke up with him a week later and he's still calling every week it was every day and it's been since very beginning of June, he actually called last night, I have his number blocked.

Thank you for the info. Don't think I would even want to know that stuff. The blocking I have with my home phone just lets the caller hear ringing that goes on forever, and I never hear ringing or know about the call.

@Red_Arrow he's blocked through the factory block feature in my phone and the phone warrior app didn't want to mess around. .. if he calls again I'm going to text his sister in law and ask if she could please tell him to not call me anymore, I don't want anything to do with him... sometimes you have to be harsh before people get it, men and women. ..

Oh I know I have had those before and you can never do enough for them and the min you try to talk about something else or you change things around they get an attitude. Some are very selfish and think the world evolves around them And if you stop giving those people what they want they walk. I don't need selfish people that don't appreciate all I do for them

Thanks mate. Yeah this girl was a long time ago now but I was just thinking about it. I tend to hold grudges against females. I am not like that towards men but if a female does something wrong she is in my bad books pretty much for the rest of her life.

HOWEVER, if I were going to end my relationship (I'm not) I would end it electronically in some fashion. Most likely via Skype. Why? Because he's currently in Ohio and I'm in Michigan. Can't really drive 7 hours to dump him. I mean, I could, but I wouldn't.

Face to face is the hardest thing you'll ever do but it is the most respectful of your relationship and the other person. If you care for them at all you need to do this in person... as heartbreaking as it is, it is the only way to show that you respect them and you respect the relationship you had for however long you've been in it. I've heard opinions of people that depending on how long you've been seeing someone, you can end the relationship over the phone - like a few months, that's fine... I think that is so STUPID... just because they haven't been together for years, does not give people the right to dismiss a relationship that may have meant the world to someone by ending it over text/email/skype... this social media generation of ours is allowing people to rationalize being emotionless, uncaring people. Always say what you need to say in person, it's just the right thing to do no matter what anyone says :)

It depends on the person and the reason. If you know they have a controlling, dramatic nature, they'll draw it out taking you as a hostage, complicate it, etc, then the smart thing to do is to make a clean cut via text or email.

Well her and I had only been seeing each other a few times for about a month but I had been at her house and she took me to the mall in her car and then drove off and then texted it to me. I am not that bothered now anyway because it saved me having to dump her and being the bad guy. There was something that was a deal breaker about her anyway.

Yes it should be done with dignity and that is what bothered me. Well I care and it hurt at the time. It was a long time ago now but I just remembered it now for some reason. You know how things in the past come back to your memory every so often. The reason she was a deal breaker for me is because she moaned and complained too much.

Problem is, if you decide you don't like someone very early into the relationship (say 1,2,3 dates in) then your probably don't want to spend another 2 hours with them, whether it be before or after breaking the bad news. And it seems a bit harsh to arrange a date, and meet up only to be immediately told that the relationship is over.

Personally, I think that in some scenarios it is kinder to break up with someone over text/the phone. And its certainly easier for both parties.
